You're Not Alone is the first single from the third Of Mice & Men album Restoring Force.

The song was premiered on the first of December, 2013, accompanied with a lyric video, while the single was released on Google Play and iTunes on 3 December. This dates the first release the band has made with the new bass player and clean vocalist Aaron Pauley, formerly of band Jamie's Elsewhere, who replaced former member Shayley Bourget. It is also the band's first charting single, peaking at no. 7 in the UK rock charts and no. 44 in the US rock charts. This song premiered the bands new album, "Restoring Force" which was released on January 28, 2014 via Rise Records. The bands front runner Austin Carlile unveils his reasoning for the name when saying, "What happens after a disaster? What happens after 'The Flood'? You return to normal. You find balance again. That's what we felt like were doing with this album. We wanted this record to bring equilibrium back to our band and music. Were letting everyone know that we're here to stay. We're 'Restoring Force'." The albums theme of togetherness and balance is well portrayed through both this song and the album as a whole.

Carlile stated during the premier of the lyric video with Loudwire that he wanted listeners "...to know they’re not alone. We’re all going through it with them.'”. It is also supposed to follow a theme of "togetherness, working together, and being a family" with the rest of the album. Carlile wants his fans to know that they're not alone and to feel a sense of togetherness from the group. This sense of togetherness is portrayed through the lyrics, "When it feels like all is lost, and there's no guide that's left to prove it, Take a look inside, Cherish your life & live before you lose it. You're all waiting for the answers, Keep on searching, strength in numbers." Through these lyrics and much more Carlile and his band members are trying to create a culture of unity and togetherness between the band members and the fans.
